We are finally getting into a regular schedule. Madeleine now goes to Gymboree on Tuesday mornings for an hour long art class. She then goes to Little Gym on Thursday afternoon for an our of the Beasties gym class. It's even the same program she was attending at home.
It's been a learning experience watching how other parents from other countries interact with their kids - or don't. Most places we go are populated with other foreign families, not too many Singaporean families hang out places we go. The first class they went to Theresa was the only parent and all the other kids were with the Indonesian or Phillipino nannies. The next class was full of parents but all foreigners from different European countries. There was even an episode between a couple parents (together) and their kid where the teacher basicly asked them to leave.
Groceries shopping with Madeleine has always been a challenge as she hates sitting in a shopping cart. We found a solution . The grocery store is in the same building as Gymboree and on Sunday evening they have free play. So, while Momma goes shopping, Maddy and Daddy go the Gymboree for an hour. As a result, she sleeps like a rock and Momma gets the shopping done in half the time.
